I remembered a route I did recently but had left out a portion so today I decided to ride the whole route, &#8220;Oakhurst &#8211; Cumberland &#8211; Valley Ranch&#8221;. After the race ended I got ready to ride and started at 10:28 AM. The last time I rode this route was October 20th, 2019. The streets and roads are part of other routes but most of today was in the opposite direction. Today&#8217;s bike ride covered <strong>32.57 miles<\/strong>, 3\/10 of a mile longer than the October 20th ride. This pushed the week&#8217;s total to <strong>190.06 miles<\/strong>, setting up another 200+ mile week if I ride tomorrow (Saturday) which I plan on doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Formulating A Bike Route In The Heat - Bike Ride to Cumberland\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lDx180_Rp6E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forecast calls for another hot day getting up to 99 degrees and a heat index approaching 110. I finished at 12:58 PM before the brunt of the heat arrived but it was still hot. In the last 2 days I had a question from two people about the empty water bottle cage on my bikes and what did I do for water while riding in the heat. My CamelBak does a better job keeping water cold and lasting the whole ride without stopping at a store for refills (COVID-19 caution). Today after the ride I emptied the CamelBak and ice came out; that would not happen using a bottle and I use the CamelBak Podium Chill bottles with insulation. Weather at the start and finish: start 90 (67% humidity, 77.8 dew point), a few clouds, wind SW 9 mph. Finish 95 (56% humidity, 77.3 dew point), a few clouds, wind SW 9 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am over halfway to my mileage goal for August. Below is a recap of where I stand.
